P. T. Barnum
How were the receipts today in Madison Square Garden ?
P. T. Barnum
Your success depends on what you do yourself, with your own means

P. T. Barnum
Science is the pursuit of pure truth, and the systematizing of it.

Nothing draws a crowd quite like a crowd.
P. T. Barnum
There is no such thing in the world as luck. There never was a man who could go out in the morning and find a purse full of gold in the street to-day, and another to-morrow, and so on, day after day: He may do so once in his life but so far as mere luck is concerned, he is as liable to lose it as to find it.
